Day by Day Overview
After breakfast your tour guide will pick you up from Kampala (or Entebbe) and you will embark on the drive to Murchison Falls National Park. You drive through the notable landscapes of Nakasongola, crossing the Kafu River and passing by the verdant Budongo Forest. Upon arrival, you’ll drive to the top of the Falls and see the world’s longest river, the Nile, as it squeezes itself through an 8m ravine forming a plume of spray marked by a thunderous roar and a trademark rainbow as it falls 43m below to the Devils Cauldron. The site is an extraordinary scene for photography.
Afterwards you connect to Paraa Jetty to catch up with the Nile launch cruise to the bottom of the Falls departing at 2 pm. The Nile launch cruise offers you an opportunity to explore the calm waters of the Nile River as you approach the delta gaining views of the aquatic species such as the Nile crocodiles and hippos not forgetting the sought-after shoebill stork if you’re lucky. The boat stops at the bottom of Murchison Falls – the world’s powerful waterfall – to enjoy one of the magical scenes in Uganda.
